Woman Tries To Lowball A Wedding Caterer For A 200 Person Wedding And Gets Shut Down

Artists and writers are used to people undervaluing their work, either because they're entitled, or they simply don't comprehend what they're asking for in terms of labor. But how can you argue over the cost of food? A caterer named Onequa shared a conversation she had with a woman about a proposed wedding meal that shows people are always trying to get more than they deserve for as little as possible.

She shared the screenshot of a text conversation on Twitter, and it starts out normal. The woman she's speaking with is the god daughter of the woman getting married, apparently stepping in as a wedding planner. She asks for a number of dishes, including an omelette station, wing station, and waffle station for a breakfast/brunch meal. She mentions three different types of fish, too. This lady wants it all!

Onequa very reasonably quotes $5,000 for 200 people, which brings all that to down below $30 a head. Remember, she is buying all the materials and cooking everything. The woman comes back at her with some insults about her presence on Instagram, then tries to lowball her. It's wild!

I can’t believe she had the nerve to call it an “opportunity”. It’s a cheapskates wedding. How would it be an opportunity to take a pay cut so you can tell all your friends to underpay me as well? Hard pass.

So, she didn't get to cater someone's last minute wedding. Instead, she gets the support of the Internet for valuing herself. And giving us some hilarious text messages to scream over. That is definitely worth $28 a head.
